Please select the satellite that your satellite dish have been aimed to and press "Autoscan" to scan channels. Single Single mode and rest of the mode are for user who wants to have advance settings like LNB, DiSEqC1. 2 motor control and etc. It also has two other scanning modes like "Transponder Scan" and "Scan the specific frequency ONLY". 9 Transponder Scan This scanning mode is for you to specifically scan a transponder that you know instead of scanning the whole satellite. When scanning in this mode, it will add the channels you have scanned to your channel list. You will need to know some information on the transponder that you wish to scan first. Scan the specific frequency ONLY This scanning mode will specifically scan a frequency; usually used when the signal is weak and has been lost during other type of scanning mode. LNB Settings This settings need to follow the instruction from the Satellite's LNB spec. If you already have other working device that can receive the signal from the satellite (i. e. Set-Top Box), you may refer the settings for that device. If you still have problem with LNB settings, please contact your satellite dish provider for correct information. DiSEqC1. 2 motor control setting Compro S350/S300 supports DiSEqC 1. 2 version. If you have installed motor that compatible to DiSEqC, it may aim to different satellite to receive different satellite's channels. 2 ports 22KHz switch / 2 ports mini DiSEqC switch / 4 ports DiSEqC1. 0 switch / 4 ports DiSEqC1. 2 switch These four settings are similar to Single mentioned above. The difference is these four settings have connected the LNB to the TV card through a switch. Please refer to the picture in each setting to confirm which switch you are using, then continue with the advance settings. 10 Each of these mode will have 2~4 tabs to switch between different satellites (i. e. under "4 ports DiSEqC1. 2 switch" will have Port S1, Port S2, Port S3, and Port S4 tab) Note Compro S350/S300 supports up to 4 ports DiSEqC switch. [. . . ] Composite Audio needs to connect to the Line-In port of your sound card. You have to buy a converter (see the right) to transfer Composite Audio cable (red one and white one) into stereo.
